Classic IPOD/Uconnect "Browse" disabled

Hi, so I just got a brand 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited. I've only had this car since Tuesday and I'm having one major issue that I didn't have in my 2016 Cherokee Limited model.

I still use the iPod Classic (video) for music and while it works with the car, the only problem I have is that it won't let me browse through my music. It will instead only show the album of whatever artist I have playing. the "browse" button is grayed out. I never had this issue in my 2016 Jeep and I'm wonder if anyone has solutions to this.

I also ended up buying a 256GB Flash drive to store music on and the car only reads half of the music I upload to it.

JBrady,
This may not be your issue, but it's worth mentioning. I have noticed that when I plug my iPhone Xs into a USB port, the "Browse" function is not available for 5 to 10 minutes. My suspicion is that the meta data (song titles, artists, etc) has to be fully read by the UConnect system before it can let you browse. I suspect this time will be better or worse based on how many songs you have on your music device. My 5 to 10 minutes is based on around 5000 songs.

I see the same behavior and reached the same conclusion when using a USB memory stick for music. My USB stick has 6,500 songs on it and it takes a couple of minutes before browse works after I start my Jeep. Previously playing song picks up with no delay though and I can skip to the next songs without issue.
